🟢🟡 U13’s A TALE OF TWO TEAMS! 🏉
Two games, two completely different performances and plenty of lessons to take away from another eventful morning of rugby!
Today we welcomed Birchgrove for our first-ever encounter, alongside our good friends from Genech Wanderers, who we were more than happy to accommodate at short notice following the cancellation of their fixture.
Our opening game against Birchgrove was a tough one. We fell well below the standards we know this group is capable of, struggling to find any rhythm or momentum from the first whistle.
But once again, what a response from these boys! 💪🔥
A complete change in mindset saw a completely different Cefen side take to the field for our second game!
Every single player stepped up, showing 110% commitment, ferocious defending, huge collisions, relentless work rate and some outstanding attacking flair. The transformation was incredible, and the boys showed exactly what they’re capable of when they play with confidence, determination and belief! 👏
🏆 PLAYER OF THE MATCH – BIG ALFF MACMILLAN
A fantastic effort across both games! Defensively outstanding, putting in some massive tackles while working tirelessly in attack.
His commitment and hard work throughout the season deserved a reward, and what better way to get it than a long-overdue try following an outstanding driving maul!
A brilliant performance and a thoroughly deserved recognition! 👏🔥
🛡️ MEN OF STEEL – LUKE, ELIS & LITTLE ALFF JONES
Three absolute warriors today! 💪
An incredible defensive effort across both games. The sheer number of tackles these boys put in was phenomenal, with some of the biggest hits we’re likely to see all season!
Good old-fashioned forwards rugby at its finest. Physical, fearless, relentless and absolutely smashing everything in front of them! 🔥
🏉 TODAY’S RESULTS
🔴 Cefen 0–36 Birchgrove
🟢 Cefen 21–12 Genech Wanderers
Plenty to work on, plenty to be proud of, and another valuable morning of rugby under our belts.
A big thank you to Birchgrove and Genech Wanderers for two great games, and best of luck for the rest of the season! 🤝
